So I (blissfully) missed this news from a few weeks back, but a friend informed me that an extended cut of Transformers will actually hit IMAX screens later this month, on September 21, just a few weeks in advance of the summer action hit’s DVD bow on October 16.

As my friend rightly pointed out, we can only hope that this means there’s a lot more footage of Shia LaBeouf trying to hide the robots while his parents think he’s masturbating — because that scene didn’t go on long enough. Either that or, alternately, John Turturro getting mock-urinated on by robots and a detailed explanation of the ridiculous cover-up that preserves the franchise prerogative of a sequel in which Transformers still somehow exist in secret.
